Working with healthcare businesses in the US · Canada · UK · Europe
Quick answer
Upstack Web provides healthcare software development: web platforms, patient and provider portals, practitioner directories and accessible clinic websites for companies in the US, Canada, the UK and Europe. Our work includes Astarte Medical, a platform built around strict GDPR data-protection requirements, and RankMyDentist, a directory platform for dental professionals and patients. We design for the privacy rules that apply to each project and work alongside your compliance advisers.
Healthcare software carries higher stakes than most. It handles sensitive personal data, must be usable by patients of every ability, and has to fit into clinical workflows that leave little room for clumsy tools.
We start every healthcare project with data and users: what information is collected, who can see it, where it is stored and how access is logged. Then we design interfaces that patients, clinicians and administrators can use quickly and confidently.
